To pass another player means the Jammer advances ahead of that player according to derby direction (counter-clockwise). Passive passes where a player travels clockwise past the Jammer are counted as passes.
The Jammer may choose to go back behind and re-pass a skater if they were not eligible to earn a pass on their first attempt.

Equally, scoring a NOTT point on an opposing Jammer prevents the first lap point being scored on that Jammer within the same Scoring Pass (however subsequent lap points may still be awarded)
